Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on two opponents using grappling (gripping, handling and controlling of an opponent without the use of striking) and ground fighting techniques with the goal of one opponent gaining a dominant position over the other and forcing him/her to submit.
UMACA owner, Brad Chapman, runs the jiu-jitsu program at UMACA, which focuses on the fundamentals of jiu-jitsu as taught by the Gracie family. He holds his 6th Dan Black Belt in Taekwondo as well as his Blue Belt in RGDA Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.
"The point of our jiu-jitsu program is provide students with place to learn how to train in jiu-jitsu without the hesitancy of 'just being a beginner,'" said Chapman. "We welcome everyone to our open mat, but really want to provide a solid introduction to the sport and focus on the fundamental techniques."
"Jiu-jitsu is a great sport for anyone interested in self-defense or mixed martial arts," he continued. "It is a real thinking person's martial arts, which I think is why people who try it absolutely love it."
